  • The scam compounds in Southeast Asia are operated by Chinese organized crime.

  • Netanyahu hopes strikes on Iran will lead to uprising and regime change

    Jump

  • Iranians are Persians.

  • French foreign minister suggests Canada could 'maybe ... at some point' join EU

    Jump

  • Carney said this is not an option he's pushing for currently. But he wants to grow closer to EU. But WHAT this French FM has suggested does give Carney and Canada leverage as we negotiate with Trump for a new CUSMA.

  • Federal government appealing Emergencies Act use to Supreme Court

    Jump

  • The courts got it so wrong. Doug Ford and PCs did jack shit for the people of Ottawa while the city was under siege. Change the fucking law if the judges can't get it right.

  • Thinking of moving to a more 'affordable' part of the country? Consider this

    Jump

  • But the Brazilian couple found out a few years later that moving from a big city to a smaller one isn’t always the answer. Nazzari Gomes relocated for a university teaching job in Guelph, and discovered that rents in the smaller Ontario city were just as steep. The family now pays $3,100 a month.

    I find it RIDICULOUS that rent in Guelph is about the same as it is in Toronto. That NEVER used to be the case! This is freaking outrageous.

  • Germany to Trump: We won’t help you reopen the Strait of Hormuz

    Jump

  • lol is that true? are you german?

  • MNDAA Captures Kutkai From TNLA as Brotherhood Alliance Shatters in Northern Shan

    Jump

  • MNDAA are ethnic Han Chinese who fled the Manucharians and sought refuge in Burma during the reign of Ching dynasty, the last dynasty in China ruled by Manchurians who have since been hanized or assimilated by the majority Han Chinese.

  • Cambodia aims to shut down all online scam centers within weeks

    Jump

  • Yeah no I expect them to reappear elsewhere. just like in Myanmar.

  • Mizoram chief minister confirms Arakan Army control over strategic Kaladan project as cross-border trade shifts to rebel-taxed routes -

    Jump

  • It's interesting that both Indian and Bangladesh are working with Arakan Army on border situations. This is not always the case when other rebels capture junta territory. AA are well organized.

  • Canada lost 84K jobs as unemployment rate rose to 6.7% in February: StatCan

    Jump

  • I think they are talking about gross losses in one number, the total is net I believe.

  • Thousands of Chinese boats mass at sea, raising questions

    Jump

  • This was clearly a naval warfare exercise using Chinese civilian fleet. The largest fishing fleet in the world.

  • Israeli military drops charges against soldiers accused of sexually assaulting Palestinian detainee

    Jump

  • The Israeli state no longer pretend that they have morals or values. This is outright admission they are abusers rapists murders. The entire state should be put on trial for war crimes.

  • China is expected to push for an ethnic unity law that critics say will cement assimilation

    Jump

  • 56 is by official Chinese count. There are many, MANY more. China doesn't recognize them.

  • How Much Do LLMs Hallucinate in Document Q&A Scenarios? A 172-Billion-Token Study Across Temperatures, Context Lengths, and Hardware Platforms [TLDR: 25%]

  • From 1776 to 2026: Adam Smith's lessons for the global economy

    Jump

  • “It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion,” Smith writes in the 1,000-page-plus tome, which draws on everything from ​grape-growing to pin factories. “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable,” he says in one of his best-known quotes.

  • AA Poised to Capture Myanmar Junta’s Arms Factory in Padaung

    Jump

  • This is an extremely interesting development. The military had moved much of its arms factories to the west of Irrawady river to keep them safe as western Burma had been mostly quiet and armed militias there had been relatively weak compared to those in the eastern borders which Burma share with China and Thailand a key US ally.

    Arakan Army arose from the increased rohingya rebel activity in the state of Arakan and the military's response to the rohingya rebels in 2017 and subsequent years. Led by a young charismatic leader AA's rapid success has far exceeded that of any ethnic rebel group in recent years and even recent decades. Their success is all the more surprising as they lack the two traditional keys that's been the backbone of success for other ethnic rebel armies: funding from illicit drug trade and active support and backing of China.
